Kofi is a London-based spoken word artist and self-proclaimed storyteller. He'll speak on anything, from sunsets to fascism. Kofi performed from Brighton seafront to Islington. He managed to worm his wayinto a Hammer and Tongue slam final and got a piece published when hewas 9.
In this episode, we talked about winning the Queer The Mic feature slot, writing in lockdown, Kofi’s journey from making hip-hop beats with his sister to becoming a spoken word artist, and the London poetry scene.
